This has been repeated lots of times recently, but it obviously isn't
working, so I'm sure we'll keep repeating it:

This is the development mailing list. Please limit mails to proposing
solutions, and constructive discussion.

For bugs, see our bugtracker[1]. For whinghing, see the sounder mailing
list [2]. If you're interested in helping with yelp development, see the
upstream mailing list[3].
